I'm writing this journal because I'm tired. Tired of hearing people say that I'm just a little girl whose parents are rich and have bought her the best camera and such.
Hello?
My camera is canon 1000d... is that the best one out there?! I really don't think so.
I spent a year working to gain money to be able to buy my first reflex camera, which is the one I have now, and before that, I used to take pictures with my father's compact kodak. So really, don't accuse without knowing.
The other thing. Some people have told me to go to a psychiatric and take medicine because my mind is not right, because I take pictures which are cold, scary and sad. Well, I'm 15. What did you expect from an angsty teenager? Sometimes I do dark stuff, sometimes I do happy stuff. I've got teenager mood swings, is that wrong, really? And those who nkow my work from the beginning, I'm sure you've seen me go through the stages of puberty. I used to play a lot with blood, believe me. A LOT. Now I prefer doing other things. Sad, melancholic things, though I still have fun with bright colors. Those who critize me about this, haven't you ever been a teenager?
About the make-up. THE MAKE-UP IS REAL. If it isn't, then it's a PHOTOMANIPULATION and I put it under THAT category.
Such as this:

some lines are real, but most of them aren't.
I love make-up, and I use the simplest things such as a red lipstick or paint. It isn't a big deal.
Also, THE FRECKLES ARE REAL.
And really, that's all. I'm an easy person. Sorry for this burst, but I had to clear unclear things that are being said.
I hope you are all doing great!

Stay true to yourself, Cristina, and never mind the haters.

Compliments and criticisms are largely irrelevant because only you can truly judge your work. No one else in the world could create what you've done.
Enjoy the process. You're brilliant and an inspiration.
But its somehow modern to think everthing which doesn't fit into the norm, has to be fixed. I mean ten years ago it was absolutly normal, that childrens ramped around and nobody said anythink, but nowadays this children are thought to be ill and have to be fixed by some sort of medicine (well its maybe a bit exagerated but not that far away from truth).
I love both, the shiney, colorfull "happy" art but also the darker, serious to sad or horrorful art. Live has also all of htis aspects, so why shouldn't art?
So keep up with the creativity, you are very talented!
